Integrate accounts with your POS system
Clarity, simplicity, and ease of use are phrases not commonly associated with small business accounting, but there’s no reason they shouldn’t be. Thanks to advances in point of sale (POS) technology, business owners can now integrate powerful accounting software into their technology.
No one starts a business with dreams of late nights going over receipts and counting pennies. Epos Now has a range of partnerships with some of the biggest bookkeeping integrations in the world. Thanks to these partnerships, our customers can take full control of their accounting.
In this blog, we’ll go into detail about some of our popular accountancy apps and explain why you should integrate your accounts.
Why should I integrate my accounts?
Integrating your accounts package with your POS system offers a whole host of business benefits;
Save time
The manual input of accounts data is tedious and time-consuming, attributing to hours of admin time each week. Integrating your accounts removes this step, with your end of day figures automatically pulled through to your bookkeeping software. This ensures you can focus on other business-critical tasks, or spend more time doing what you love.
Save money
Sending your accountant reams of paperwork and spreadsheets to tackle each year-end is costing you by the hour. An automated accounts module ensures your data is in a neat bundle, with all the information they need at their fingertips reducing the amount of time it takes for them while reducing the cost to your business.
Eliminate human errors
Not only is manual data input time-consuming, but it’s also prone to human error. By removing this step you avoid unnecessary and costly errors that could damage your business.
